Rail system, in particular for an in-floor electric conveyer system

摘要

A rail system for an in-floor electric conveyer system having a main track with at least two fixed parallel rails, at least two secondary tracks which enclose an angle and each have fixed rails, and a switch arranged between the main track and the secondary tracks. Each rail of the main track is assigned a moveable rail section connected to the corresponding rail of the main track via a joint. Each joint has at least one end face of the rail of the main track embodied as part of a rotational face about the axis of a pivot pin, at least one end face, embodied in a complementary fashion thereto, of the assigned movable rail section and at least one transition body, which overlaps the fixed rail and the movable rail section and is connected in one end region to the fixed rail, and in the other end region to the movable rail section in an articulated fashion.

主权项

1. A rail system for an in-floor electric conveyor system comprising:
a) a main track, which comprises at least two fixed parallel rails; b) at least two secondary tracks which enclose an angle and each secondary track having as many fixed rails as the main track; c) a switch arranged between the main track and the at least two secondary tracks, the switch comprising:
ca) a movable rail section for each fixed parallel rail of the main track, which is capable of forming at least part of a connection between the rail fixed parallel of the main track and a rail of the at least two secondary track in one position;cb) at least one actuating mechanism for moving the movable rail sections;wherein,
d) each fixed parallel rail of the main track has a single movable rail section associated therewith, which is permanently physically connected to the rail of the main track via a joint and which is capable of being connected to a fixed rail of each secondary track through a pivotal movement about the joint, and wherein, e) each joint comprises
ea) at least one end face of the fixed parallel rail of the main track, which is constructed as part of a rotational face about an axis of a pivot pin;eb) at least one end face of the movable rail section which abuts against the end face of the fixed rail and is shaped in a complementary manner thereto;ec) at least one transition body which overlaps the fixed rail and the movable rail section and is connected in one end region to the fixed rail and in an other end region to the movable rail section in articulated manner, wherein at least one end face of the transition body realises a contour-adapted transition between the fixed rail and the movable rail section in at least one position of the movable rail section.
